Episode 325: 2011 Year In Review Part 2
In addition to Hasbro Star Wars items, which we covered in Part 1 of our Year In Review Series, 2011 saw many other new additions to Star Wars collecting from the four-figure priced Sideshow Legendary Scale figures to the Star Wars magnetic mini licence plates from Topps, and so much in between. On this week’s second part of our Year in Review series, Arnie, Marjorie, Jerry, Berent, Jay, and Steve look at all the other Star Wars collectibles this year.
And also this week we look at perhaps the single most popular Star Wars product of 2011–the Blu Ray release! Tweaked versions of all six films in the saga, available in high definition with newly remastered sound, these have been top sellers on Amazon for much of the holiday season!
From Hot Toys’ Bespin Luke to Vinylmation’s Disney Theme Park exclusives, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, LEGO, and much more. It’s all in this week’s episode of Star Wars Action News!
